Calox
Black and white 4 3/4" x 13 1/2" ad that uses Olivia de Havilland and mentions her new movie, Call It A Day to advertise for Calox Tooth Powder. The headline in this ad starts out by saying "Make your teeth shine like the Stars!" and then has a saying attributed to Olivia saying that "Calox has always seemed gentle and soft - pleasant to use. And it does polish beautifully. No wonder it's so popular in Hollywood". There is a second photo of the starlet that says "Lights! Powerful 2000-watt lights are poured on the star's face and teeth. Would your teeth register pure-flawless in such a test! Countless experiences like this teach so many stars to use Calox Tooth Powder". The ad then says that "Are a movie star's teeth really as luxurous as they look on the screen?"...people often ask. Yes, they are. They have to be. The camera is cruelly honest - teeth have to shine beautifully. So choosing a dentrifice is serious business in Hollywood. Repeatedly, the choice is Calox Tooth Powder".

Calox
Three color 5 1/4" x 13 3/4" ad for Calox Tooth Powder. This ad claims that it was the "Calox Movie Quiz No. 12" and it has a photo of a movie starlet, smiling as she wears a dark set of googles, and it says that she is as "Charming as her Calox Smile...Who Is She? Star of 'No, No, Nanette'". There are three clues given by Douglas Churchill which are "1. Who was England's No. 1 movie star before Hollywood lured her to America. 2. Who captured America's heart in 'Nurse Edith Cavell?' 3. Who, like so many other stars, uses Calox for that 'Hollywood Sparkle'?". At the bottom of the ad there is the test to "Try This Finger-Nail Test - Prove Calox Polishes Safely". It goes "A dazzling smile flashes on the movie screen, and you say, 'How lovely...waht's her secret?. The answer is, as many Hollywood stars will quickly tell you, Calox. Calox Tooth Powder contains not 1 or 2, but 5 cleansing agents - especially designed to attack ugly film and surface stain. Yet, Calox polishes safely. To prove this, simply pour a little Calox on a buffer and rub your finger-nails hard. Look at their high polish...proof that Calox CLEANS without harming the softest tooth enamel. Brush with Calox for 30 DAYS! Bring out the natural lustre of your teeth to get that 'Hollywood Sparkle'!". In case you are wondering just who the star was, it was Anna Neagle.

This ad says that by using Chlorodent to brush your teeth you can "Get 5 times more active chlorophyll" and that it "Gives You A Clean Fresh Mouth All Day Long!".

The box there says that it offers "Visible Proof! Chlorodent tints your brush with the deep, rich green of chlorophyll itself. This proves that you are getting active chlorophyll - up to 5 times more! No other toothpaste gives you such dramatic proof". This will give you a "Clean Fresh Mouth All Day Long" and the bottom part of the ad mentions four reasons that it helps. You will get "New Freedom from Mouth Odors", this "Keeps Teeth Cleanest", it "Fights Tooth Decay" and it is proven that "Half of all Tooth Losses Caused by Gum Trouble".

Chlorodent
Black and white 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad that relates how quickly you will realize that Chlorodent works. There are two pictures of a lady first thing in the morning. In the first picture, captioned "7:15 am 'Morning Mouth'" we see a profile of this lady holding her mouth as though something had crawled into it and died while she slept. The second picture, captioned "7:17 am. That wonderful, clean, fresh Chlorodent feeling" has her facing the camera with a look of joy as she holds her toothbrush above her head. The text talks about the Chlorophyll formula and how it will freshen you mouth while the two cleaning ingredients will "foam" your mouth clean and "polish" your teeth. It doesn't say anything about really preventing cavities though, just getting rid of that breath that caused some families to have two bathrooms.

The text claims that we wouldn't really go to the extremes of using a diving helmet and talks about why this toothpaste works the way they claim it does.

The ad starts with the heading "Alike as Two Peas - but it's a cinch to tell them apart!". We see two identical twin sisters, Mary and Margie, smiling as the next picture shows one man mentioning to another that no matter how much alike they looked, "it's easy to tell them apart these days". Overhearing that remark Mary asks Margie what he could possible mean and Margie proudly retorts that "last night I heard him say you ought to see a dentist about your breath". Mary does see the dentist who explains about Colgate Dental Cream fighting Bad Breath. The next picture shows both sisters dancing closely with two young men and the one compliments Margie on how sweet she is. Mary is finally able to say "Thanks, Bob, but I'm not Margie - I'm Mary!". The last picture shows Mary smiling and talking about having No Bad Breath as well as a Sparkling Smile.

This ad starts off with a very somber moment as we see Mary on a very dark night sitting next to the lake as the headline says that the "Moonlight Means Nothing To Mary!". The text starts off by saying "For Mary has bad breath...a condition she condemns in others, never suspects in herself. It is a tragic mistake, and a common one. Even you may be guilty of it" and there is a picture of her sitting and talking to her dentist. "Remember, dentists say..."Tests show that 9 out of 10 people have bad breath. That's why dentists recommend Colgate Dental Cream. For Colgate's active penetrating foam gets into the hidden crevices between your teeth...helps clean out decaying food particles and stop the stagnant saliva odors that cause much bad breath" and the picture show Mary, smiling, as she prepares to brush her teeth again. "Don't you enjoy Colgate's tangy flavor? Aren't your teeth brighter, more attractive? And that penetrating foam - how clean and refreshed it makes your mouth feel! Colgate's is the pleasant way to combat bad breath" as the last picture shows Mary smiling again as she is being kissed by a very handsome and well-dressed man.

This is a story-telling ad that starts off with a little brother who is reading from his sister's diary and he is sitting there, hand to his mouth, saying "Sisters are the Craziest People!". In the next frame, the sister finds out that her brother has been reading and she says "You'll find out who's crazy if you don't stop snooping in my diary". The boy answers, Aw, keep your sweater on, Sis! Gleeps! If you don't want anybody to read it...what do you write all that mush about Mike for?". Next, the sister is feeling bad about the way she reacted and says "Oh, go away, Johnnie. You wouldn't understand". The little boy stands there and says "You're not so smart yourself, Sis. Do you figger Mikes gonna hang around a girl that needs to see her dentist about bad breath? Huh, Mike's no dope".

Her roommate, trying to increase the distance between Julie and herself, tells her that she is beginning to think straight and next time she is on liberty she should see her dentist. Her dentist stands fanning the space between Julie and himself with his instruments and suggests that she use Colgate to tackle that bad-breath problem. Later, as the letters begin to pile into Julie, Julie thanks her roommate for setting her straight and credits Colgate for making her teeth sparkle and her breath fresh.

Gleem
Full color 9 3/4" x 13 1/4" ad that talks about their new Gleem Toothpaste with GL-70. There are four pictures at the top of the page that show people eating, not brushing their teeth. The words between the two rows tells us that "Here are some of the many people who can't aways brush after meals...they've made Gleem the fastest-growing toothpaste in the U.S.". The headline, beneath the bottom two pictures, tells us that the "New Gleem Toothpaste for people who can't brush after every meal" just might be the way to go. It then tells us that "Just one brushing destroys decay and odor-causing bacteria!". Then, the ad tells us, that "If you can't brush your teeth after meals, even though it's best, you should change to Gleem, too. One Gleem brushing destroys up to 90% of bacteria (major cause of decay)...protects most people against mouth odor all day. Gleem's flavor is so wonderful even youngsters like to use it regularly! And for children, regular after-meal brushing is a proven way to reduct decay".

Listerine
Black and white 5" x 13 3/4" ad that advertises Listerine Tooth Paste. This ad shows Catherine Church, a Cleveland, Ohio stenographer, talking about the way that she saves money. "When you have to watch pennies you sure welcome the Big Tube that lasts 3 months" is her answer. The ad shows a tube of this product, shown pointing nose-down, and the text says "Yes, Sir! When day-to-day expenses empty that pay envelope almost before you open it...when buying some little luxury means scrimping on necessities...you certainly do appreciate that big economy tube of Listerine Tooth Paste. Just think of it! The 40 cent tube last three whole months...even when you use a full 3/4 inch of paste per day...still longer if you use less. The secret of this economy? Well, one important factor is a new-type ingredient in Listerine Tooth Paste - Luster-Foam detergent. This wonderful new laboratory achievement makes possible a real tooth cleansing and polishing job with only a small amount of paste". This ad goes on, talking about Luster-Foam and how well it works and how it rushes to help you fight tooth decay. At the bottom of the ad, there is the reminder that when you use this tooth paste, it "Costs you less than 1/2 cents a day!".
